What a long day. The girls slept all night thankfully. No peeps at all. Pete and I had the day off because the girls all had an appt to have their hearing checked and then to see the ENT MD after.
So we were up and out of the house by 8:15. We headed to the bank then off to the hospital. The girls hearing test was at 9:30 - we arrived at 9:00 because we just know that having to get anywhere 'quickly' with the 3 of them is near impossible. And you NEVER know what might come up that could set you a few minutes behind. It worked out well today because we didn't wait much at all.
They all had their hearing checked and as it turns out - they all can hear just fine. Shocking. So it's really selective hearing problems that they seem to be suffering from right? lol The reason they had to have their hearing checked in the 1st place is because of the ear infections - we weren't really concerned with how well they hear. It's good to know that they CAN hear and that maybe they'll choose to listen one day. ;-)
The whole thing for the 3 of them took about an hour and 1/2. I stayed with the one that was having her hearing checked and Pete stayed with the other 2. After they had the tests it was off to have lunch. We had an hour and 15 minutes until we needed to go back and see the ENT doc.
Lunch went great - never a problem with you throw french fries into the mix! Then we headed back up to the lobby outside of the office - there was plenty of space for the girls to run off some steam. Up and down the hallway...
Once it was time to see the doctor the girls were feeling the fact that it was well past nap time. They were kind enough to keep yelling 'my turn!' in the office but of course when it was in fact their turn - they certainly didn't like it. But all in all - they did much better than we expected them to considering the amount of time we spent there.
Once the appt was over and we got the great news that we wouldn't need to put tubes in their ears right now - Alicia came in with a BIG surprise for the girls. She had a Mr. Potato Head for each one of them! As tired as they were - they were loving their new toys. Emily carried hers all the way to the car - even giving up her baby! Thank You Alicia!!!!!!!!!!
They all were sleeping by the time we left the parking garage so we drove around for an hour and 1/2 looking at houses. Once we were home - even 1/2 awake Emily was sure to grab her Mr. Potato Head before getting out of the car. And for the pics....visit their blog

Uncle Joey made 'breakfast' for dinner and then we took baths, pj's, brushed teeth, read books and are sleeping soundly - hopefully for the night.
